Optimal shielding on servo and motor cables

WITH dynamic energy supply necessary for most applications in the field if automation, correct shielding of energy conduits is of great importance.

Loss of shielding due to breakage or insufficient coverage of the shield causes faulty signals in the fields of frequency converters and powerful drives.

German company igus, represented in Australia by Treotham Trading , specialises in the development and production of dynamic energy supply systems.

During tests at the igus laboratories in Germany, it was found precise optimal angles of twist and wire diameters directly contributed to extended service life of flexible cables.

Using the information gained, the company designed a range of cables that performs excellently even under the most severe conditions after covering millions of cycles with no adverse effects on the shield.

More than 500 cables and plugs are suited especially for applications involving continuous high speed movement.
